Thousands of local kids will benefit from the opportunity to play youth sports free of charge through at least 2026, thanks to a program created by Olympic City USA. The biggest boost to the effort, which began as a pilot program in 2021, is a $225,000 grant over three years from the Daniels Fund and $50,000 from the Dakota Foundation. Additional funding for the initiative includes donations from Boeing, the Chapman Foundations, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Comcast, Gazette Charities Foundation and the Schuck Foundation.
